    Love this product with the exception of the app. It doesn't always work or you'll have to reload "refresh" constantly to get it going...

    But there are better out there. Very clear picture on the app. One of my cameras goes offline often so that's annoying. I do like how I can tell my dog to get off the furniture while I'm at work. I also don't like how I have to pay a monthly fee to use playback. And I have more problems with the app since I don't pay the monthly fee.

    Camera has nice HD and the set up was straightforward. But don't buy it from Best Buy as their return policy is 15 days. So if you don't set it up right away you have very limited time to determine if you want to keep it.

    Used for & as baby monitoring. Works ways better than an actual named baby monitor device. Best part was that multiple people had access to check up on baby while I was napping and it was great. Provided a lot of ease of mind for me.

    Circle 2 had better quality

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This was a decent camera, but I did side by side comparisons with the Circle 2 camera I purchased at the same time, and the picture quality of the Circle 2 blew away the quality of the Nest. So while Nest seemed like a decent camera, I'd recommend the Circle line of products, for picture quality, and account features.

    This product was a life saver. We put it up at my father in laws house when he was living alone and it was a lot of weight off our shoulders knowing we would know if he fell. The installation was easy

    The camera is functioning as advertised. We are using this to look after an elderly parent and it's helpful to check on things while at work. We plan on purchasing additional cameras to get more coverage within the house. Was a very fast and easy setup.

    the camera is itself amazing and I use many of other cameras to compare it with . I would say as the camera is my fav one I'm using but the camera app and subscription history service is a major con against it. I pay 400 for two camera annual 30 day history. PRICEY

    I have some nest cam that I purchased and they look better than this one. Probably because it's an old cam compared to my previous purchases but it do serve it's purpose. The video quality is OK and not to mention, you need to subscribe to the nest aware to maximize it's purpose.

    Essy, integrates with Alexa, and can let you talk to the other room. We use it in the nursery (more toddler now) and it beats any baby monitor we used for our previous children. Do wish the night vision was slightly better, but still way ahead of others.

    The Nest camera is very small and simple to setup, even easier if you already have the Nest account setup with the Next Thermostat. The cameras has a great resolution in bright light and in pitch dark rooms.

    This is the perfect addition to my Nest Doorbell, thermostat and outdoor camera. Now I can see who comes in my garage door as well. It was very easy to set up, it literally took me 10 minutes tops.

    We purchased this camera so that we could keep an eye through our iPhones on my 96 year old bedridden mother. It worked perfectly and we were able to observe her any time of the day or night. A must if you can not be there all the time.

    We use the Nest Cam as a baby monitor and have been extremely impressed. The ability to view my child while traveling has been very helpful. The software is easy to use and the clarity on the camera is very good. I definitely recommend the Nest Cam as a baby monitor.

    Excellent camera that works well as a baby monitor, especially with its ability to do night vision. Only issues we've had have been with Google's network occasionally dropping out, camera works perfectly though.
